>>Clinton--right or wrong, guilty or innocent of whatever--Betty Currie is, to my way of thinking, an utter disgrace. Currie is said to be very religious. She was sworn to tell the truth. She didn't volunteer the information. That is not a disgrace.

I'm not so sure we should rush to condemn Currie. She may indeed have said that occasionally Clinton and Lewinsky met alone. So what? How many people do you and I "meet alone" in the course of a week? If he said they never did, he was (well, let's face it, he IS stupid). But the Drudge accounts of "shocked and sickened" investigators really are beyond the pale. The Bathroom Story? Gimme a break. I think you will understand if I say I would never use an employer's private john if I thought there were the slightest chance he might feel the need himself. The Dick Morris story? Where's that supposed to have come from? But it IS amusing. C'mon, thrilled and titillated "investigators", let's have MORE!

Prosecutor Starr Investigates Grand Jury Leaks (Real headline story below) Friday February 6 2:14 PM EST LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (Reuters) - Whitewater prosecutor Kenneth Starr said Friday he was investigating whether leaks of grand jury testimony in the Monica Lewinsky investigation came from his office. "I do not have an explanation (for the leaks)," Starr told reporters. "I am very concerned. I take it very seriously. If there was an act of unprofessional activity, I am confident we'll find it out. I don't know that there was. But if there was, we'll find it out." Asked if that meant an internal investigation of his office had begun, Starr replied: "Absolutely.We're taking appropriate action. I can't describe at the moment what that is." Asked if he was angry about leaks of grand jury testimony given by Betty Currie, President Clinton's personal secretary, Starr said, "I try to control my emotions until I know the facts." Earlier White House spokesman Mike McCurry responded angrily to reports in The New York Times and The Washington Post that Clinton had tried to influence Currie's recollection of events in the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal. Currie's lawyer, Lawrence Wechsler, also denied the reports and added, "I am shocked anddismayed by the numerous leaks regarding Mrs. Currie's grand jury testimony." McCurry said he agreed with Lewinsky's lawyer, William Ginsburg, that Starr was engaged in an"orchestrated campaign" to get Lewinsky to give an untrue account of her story. Frustrated by what he called two days of leaks of the supposedly secret grand jury testimony,McCurry said Clinton's lawyers were considering unspecified legal action against Starr.
